"Danny" Daniels, a U.S. Marine, and they had six children. They were married for 58 wonderful years. They lived in Massachusetts and California throughout their military years. They moved to Oceanside in 1958 and settled in Carlsbad in 1965. Margie was a past member of the Carlsbad Business and Professional Women's Club and the Emblem Club. She was last employed at La Costa Resort and Spa as the Chief Switchboard Operator and was employed there for 19 years. Her primary interest was her children and she enjoyed reading, gardening, dancing, flower-arranging and traveling. She had a great sense of humor, but surprisingly for her maturity, had a certain naivete that caused her husband, Danny, to coin her "St. Margaret of Bunker Hill" (Charlestown, Mass). Margie was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Danny; her sister, Mary Ellen Guihen; her brother, John F. McDonald; her infant son, Thomas Daniels; her daughter, Theresa "Peg" Reid; and her son, Stephen T. Daniels. She is survived by her daughter, Catherine "Kay" Walsh; son, John F. Daniels; daughter, Nora Gardiner (Bruno); grandchildren, Kevin Walsh, Dan Walsh (Lori), Caitlin Kraus (Paul), Charisse Daniels, Stephanie Daniels and Stephen Daniels; great- grandchildren, Taylor Walsh, Toire Walsh, Catherine "Catie" Kraus and Christian and Michael Brundu. She is also survived by her friend of 90 years, Winnie McRae of Fort Myers, Florida. Viewing: Wednesday, March 10, 4-7:30 p.m. Eternal Hills, Oceanside.

"There is no other like a mother,

And none can replace her tender touch.

All of her family and all her knew her,

Will miss her so very much."
